In August 1917, a general strike turned bloody when the army turned out to suppress demonstrators. Around 80persons were killed, 150 wounded. A second general strike in 1919 left the government in a precarious position. Declaration of an eight hour workday ended the strike, but continuing hostility led to further violence between 1919 and 1921, a period known as the "Bolshevik triennium."

One of the more gruesome postcards of the set, this card features a number of corpses associated with the violence of the period 1919-1921. The artist has placed blame on two groups of individuals. In the first case, a smoking gun is shown in the possession of a hand forced through a bill of money. This depiction suggests the involvement of the upper class of employers in the plot to suppress the workers. In the second, an officer of the Civil Guard - identified by his mounted position and the shape of his hat - holds a blood soaked sword. The Civil Guard, a military forced charged with police duties, was called upon by the government to quell disorder.
